Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Black Bottom was a predominantly black neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan demolished for redevelopment in the early 1960s and replaced with the Lafayette Park. It was located on Detroit's Near East Side and was bounded by Gratiot Avenue, Brush Street, Vernor Highway, and the Grand Trunk railroad tracks. Its main commercial strips were on Hastings and St. Antoine streets. An adjacent north-bordering neighborhood was known as Paradise Valley. The two were not, however, considered to be the same neighborhood. It was named Black Bottom not because of the skin color of its inhabitants but because of the darkness of the soil, and had been named even before blacks arrived in the neighborhood. Historically, this area of was the source of the River Savoyard, which was buried as a sewer in 1836.. Its bottom and rich marsh soils are the source of the name Black Bottom.
